SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Arbor Day is celebrated nationally on the last Friday of April. In the past years the Parks & Recreation Department has partnered with Franz Witte Nursery to hold the official Arbor
Day Celebration on the last Saturday in April at the nursery with a celebration of trees event free to the community. Due to the status of the COVID-19 last year we transitioned to
a virtual event with live story read and educational series on media for youth and adult.
To recognize Arbor Day in April on Friday the 30th the department will host a similar virtual celebration; online event partnered with the library. Activities will include a live reading,
educational material covering tree care, planting, selection, and the history of Arbor Day. Information will be presented in the form of videos, downloadable activities, and brochures.
Lastly, following the FB live story read, staff or volunteers will handout free tree seedlings on Friday the 30th to the community outside of the library with COVID-19 precautions in
place.
The proclamation is attached.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Proclaim April 30, 2021 as Arbor Day and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
